Seduce Her With Chocolate

It’s a well-known fact: Girls are crazy about chocolate. So crazy, that according to Nielsen, 96% of Americans spend more than $7 billion every year on the sweet stuff. October is no exception (and no, I’m not talking about Halloween). This month marks the holiday known as “Sweetest Day,” and it’s all about celebrating the sweet tooth in all of us. You may think chocolate obsession is a bit overrated, but when the girl in your life (or the one you want in your life) feeds her cravings, it only benefits you. Here’s how you can seduce her with chocolate.

Boost her mood

It’s not just the luring scent, the silky texture or the moan-worthy flavor she loves: Physiologically, chocolate is a mood-booster as well. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which creates feelings of positive energy that are said to mimic those of falling in love. Plus, recent studies show that the tryptophan in chocolate also ups serotonin levels in the brain, which will fill her with feelings of happiness. Here’s why this matters, guys: If you’re standing on her doorstep with a box of chocolates in your hands, she’ll want to indulge — in the chocolate and, hopefully, you!

Show her your passion

Throughout history, chocolate has been considered a symbol of romance, passion and love. Some sources say the link between chocolate and passion goes back to the Aztecs, who served the dessert at their wedding ceremonies. Today, couples show their passion on special chocolate-themed holidays. According to Nielsen, just this past Valentine's Day, consumers spent more than $320 million on chocolates alone! With Halloween just around the corner, grab an extra bag of candy for your girl when you’re stocking up for neighborhood kids, and you’ll be sure to reap the sugary rewards.

Indulge her sweet tooth

Granted, when a girl uses the word “sweet” to describe a guy, it can sometimes be the kiss of death. Sometimes, though, sweet is exactly what she wants. Gift a girl with dark chocolate (not any of that white or milk chocolate stuff) as it has a richer taste and also may have some great health benefits. Also, insist on ordering dessert at dinner. If you’ve ever watched your girl dip a fork into a piece of chocolate cake and then see her close her eyes and smile when she takes that first bite, you’ll no longer be able to dispute the effects it has on the ladies.
